This regulation applies for determining by what persons anything required to be done by or under the Act is to be done where, apart from this regulation, that requirement would fall on persons carrying on business together as an unincorporated body other than a partnership.

(2)

Any such requirement shall be the joint and several responsibility of—

(a)

first, every person holding office in that body as president, chairman, treasurer, secretary or other similar office; or

(b)

secondly, if there is no such office holder, every person who is a member of a committee by which the affairs of that body are managed; or

(c)

thirdly, if there is no such office holder or member, every person carrying on that business.

(3)

Compliance with such a requirement by one or more of the persons referred to in paragraph (2) shall be sufficient compliance with that requirement by all of them.

(4)

But a purported notification under regulation 2(1), 2(2) or 2(3) shall not be treated as complying with any of those regulations unless it is made by a person required to do so under paragraph (2)(a), (2)(b) or (2)(c) of this regulation, as appropriate.
